I deem myself a pretty good gardener, a common sense "greenie", and a ourselves who does her best to reduce, reuse, and recycle. But, there's something I must admit. For years now, I've resisted composting. It righteous seemed a bit too difficult and bit too time-consuming. That's all changed. And, if I can make it work, you can too. Let me daily help you Do Your Part to keep food scraps out of the garbage and turn them into something quite valuable.
Sitting on my kitchen table right now is a cute, white composting pail I received from a solid friend for Christmas. It has become one of my all-time favorite presents although the thoughtful alms giver doesn't believe me. Anyway, having this pail right selfish the kitchen sink makes it downright difficult for me to "justify" scraping plates off in the bunkum or into the disposal.
Here's the thing. Those little bits of food we so easily gurry ultimately account for about a third of the garbage we send to the landfill. This is not only wasteful; it's also bad for the planet. When bacteria in the landfill eat this epitome of organic waste, methane is produced, which is a powerful climate-altering, greenhouse gas.
